The Wrestling Thread Vol. 3

Brett's father Ted used to say, "Everybody has a price." Brett took that to heart.

Well, now Hogan is saying that his back is OK. But come to think of it, for the last few years he wrestled he could barely move around in the ring. It must have been his back.

Many people don't know that there's a big spring under the ring that absorbs the impacts. And when guys get body slammed, you should hear two bumps. That means they rolled and it was done correctly. When Hogan did the leg drop, he crashed straight down on his buttocks and compressed his back.

After Flair broke some of his vertebrae in a plane crash, he never trusted them to hold up and always made hard landings on his side.

Hogan has stated before that his many back surgeries are a direct result of the numerous leg drops.

[Trey Strain]

I'm not speaking as anyone who has any particular knowledge of medicine or wrestling stunts, but I wouldn't be surprised if all those leg drops had something to do with this. It just never looked like a safe maneuver.

Glad cody and rhea won there rummble matches. I like bray but la knight is awesome

Both good choices. Since I'm an Asuka fan and she had a new gimmick (and seems to be going back into butt-kicking mode), I was rooting for her, but she's already a Rumble winner and grand-slam champ, so Rhea is better booking.

Saw something in Royal Rumble I never saw in wrestling tonight. Logan Paul and Ricochet stood across the ring from each other, went to the top and jumped at each other to collide in the center. Impressive, especially with LP only have a few matches under his belt.

Yeah, I don't believe I've watched them either.

I watched the recent tag team dog collar match between them and ftr and it was awesome. Its free on YouTube. The crazy thing is briscoes look is very beliievable like youd see them on the street. They dont feel like a gimmick. If i saw those 2 at a bar id think they be bikers or survivalists. Thats how good there look is. In my head im vizuilizing them vs acolytes before they became apa. Im also vizuilizing them vs dudely boyz 911 from ecw and in there prime the steiner brothers. Apparently wwe wanted to sign them but Would wwe make them bushwhackers 2.0? Would they follow wwes written promos?

[Space Cop]

Yeah, I don't believe I've watched them either.

[TazzMission]

Im embarrassed to say i never watched any briscoes matches and i started to last night and i cant believe i slept on these guys. They would of fit perfect in the attitude era and ruthless aggression era. Also steiners got wwe legend deals so fingers crossed there in 2k23. War games was confirmed as a new match type.

New Reports Dispute Story About WWE Being Sold To Saudi Arabia

Two reports that came out last night claiming WWE is being sold to Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund are now under assault, as multiple sources have come forward this morning to dispute the claim.

Late Tuesday evening, Cassidy Haynes of Bodyslam.net and Steve Muehlhausen of DAZN reported that WWE sold to the Saudis, with the intent for the company to go private again instead of being publicly-trade. Muehlhausen's tweet has since been deleted, and Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful was unable to confirm the rumors. Additionally, several reporters now claim there is no truth to the story, most notably Ariel Helwani of BT Sport. . .

Yeah, who knows? One wonders if they'll have to tone down, but I think these Arabian companies are often willing to let stuff go as long as its not on their home soil.

I been researching a lot about the middle east and from what i understand theres i think 22 countries. I know iran dosent identify as arab but persian. I guess each country has there own rules about everything from womens rights to interfaith marriages. Iranian women date someone from say iraq dont date they just get married wim bam boom
